What is the difference between Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion? Also any examples of them

Chemistry

Answer:

Hiya there!

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For example, uranium can fission to yield strontium and krypton. Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium.

<em><u>Hope this helped!</u></em> :D

A sample of Mo(NO3)6 has 2.22 x 10^22 nitrogen atom, how many oxygen atoms does the sample have?
goldfiish [28.3K]

There are 3.98 × 10^23 atoms of oxygen in the sample.

Given that;

1 mole of Mo(NO3)6 contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms of Nitrogen

x moles of Mo(NO3)6 contains 2.22 x 10^22 atoms of nitrogen

x = 1 mole × 2.22 x 10^22 atoms/6.02 × 10^23 atoms

x = 0.0368 moles

The number of oxygen atoms in the sample is given by; 0.0368 × 6.02 × 10^23 × 18

Therefore, there are 3.98 × 10^23 atoms of oxygen in the sample.

Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter
ANTONII [103]
The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture. 

For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?
Zielflug [23.3K]
A conductor is what helps heat or electricity pass through an object. Examples of conductors are, silver, iron, aluminum, etc..

An insulator does the opposite and instead, stops either from going through. Examples of an insulator is paper, wood, rubber, etc.
